All-Out Effort

The trump card of all enhancement magi, the nightmare of all non-melee-type magi! 

Ali's expression changed; no enhancement magus can be fully immune to the physical damage brought by "mutating." 

Mana is not a panacea; it can deeply remodel a magus's body, but it can't turn someone into a monster.

And "mutating" breaks through this limit.

It awakens the dormant beastly bloodline within, catalyzed into manifestation by mana.

This is what "mutating" is.

After mutating, Code 19, aside from his soul, could hardly be considered human; his body had become entirely that of a monstrous being.

"This is my utmost respect. If you have any skills left, use them. Otherwise, you will surely regret it." 

Code 19's voice had completely transformed, as if coming from a muffled space.

Though his articulation was clear, the tone was bizarrely odd.

His eyes, burning with a faint blue flame within the crimson, fixed on Ali's face.
